Yesterday we went into Portland for Thanksgiving dinner. 30 folks gathered in a rather small space to partake of some traditional food, turkey, mashed potatoes, yams and some that was not so traditional, polenta, Fruit salad, and vegetarian dishes which were a total mystery to me and, therefore, not tried Then there was desert. Apple pie, pumpkin pie, carrot bars, a cake that contained no dairy, mincemeat pies, and whipped cream which makes everything taste better.
I left a little early to drive to ARC and make a blood product delivery to OHSU hospital. It was my first time there but it turned out to be easy. There is a booklet that drivers can take that show step-by-step instructions (with photos) on where to park, where to enter, elevators, where to put the boxes, etc. It makes the job less stressful for the first time volunteer.
A ARC vehicle is used for these deliveries. Last night I drove one of the new Ram City Vans. Short, sort of tall mini vans that are ideal for city driving. Once I figured out the unique features of the vehicle, it was fine. It was fun to drive something different. I delivered 4 boxes and picked up 17 so it was a short but worthwhile trip.
